I don't know anybody who thinks VAT is left-of-center except "socialism is when the government levies taxes; the more taxes the government levies, the socialister it is" mouth-breathers (which, to be fair, many Americans are). Taxes on consumption almost inevitably have a regressive effect.

Ah, this takes me back to my early days of following politics, when people called Stephen Harper's VAT cut regressive... and then my provincial NDP raised it. Good times.
